Ireland’s Department of Health says it is engaging with the OECD to monitor excess mortality “as an indicator of the impact of climate change,” and says that heart-related issues and tumours were some of the leading causes of death last year.
The comments were made in the Dáil on Wednesday by Fine Gael Minister of State at the Department of Health, Hildegarde Naughton.

Wait a moment, climate change has caused Ireland to be warmer in the last few years, according to Met Éireann’s data. This is also what has been drilled into us every day on the News for the last few years and by our corporately bought quisling government. But, it is well known that more people die from colder temperatures not from warmer temperatures. Ireland should be experiencing less deaths due to the type of climate change affecting us. This makes the minister’s bizarre explanation for the excess deaths doubly concerning.
Excess deaths and climate change❓That old saying about clutching at straws does not even begin to explain this delusion by the Health Minister & his Dept. Officials. ????????????.
Unfortunately it’s not a delusion, it’s coverering up and blatant lying.
There are no depths they won’t plumb. This nonsense is the very definition of misinformation.
Experimental Covid Jabs!
How many Angels can you fit on a pin head? Have these clowns in government not got more pressing issues to concern themselves with? Such as a disfunctional and patently wasteful health service…..
Omg who do this government think it is. Do they really think the Irish people are so stupid. I’m not watching Tom and Jerry .this is real life. This is the people we put in charge of our families lives , who are the stupid ones here , them or us for voting them in.
As Judge Judy might say, don’t p. Down my leg and tell me it’s raining
Donnelly is highly educated. I feel this makes him arrogant and condescending. I suspect this might be his downfall. Hubris
To be fair, one consideration I never had relating to excess deaths, was an ageing population. However this still warrants an investigation.
My understanding is that excess deaths feature across ALL age groups
The whole point of excess deaths is that it is above and beyond the norm, across all age groups. This figure is worked out by actuarians.
